The basement got incorporated into #ToyboxAces. Now there is a whole new floor to explore. Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3373080/To…

Some cool titles today:

Posts like *this* are waaay underrepresented. We need more of stuff like this. Keep rocking! By the way: Cute little lizzard. Make him lick his eyes / snout from time to time for making him even more lizzardly. Keep rocking!

Spent some time to tweak the enemy pilot AI. Well... They now avoid collisions. But on the downside, now they do some strange tail wiggling, and their aiming is more like randomly firing into the general direction of me. This still needs some work, but it already feels intense.

Turns out updating an OctTree representation of the level in realtime while there is heavily physics based anti aircraft fire with lots of actively simulated shrapnel AND visualizing this via DrawDebugBox brings FPS down to 8. THAT was a bit TOO much, I reccon.

If you are a GameDev and want to make your objects to move more "smoothly", here are two math functions you definitively should look into:

The Bf 109 hase been brought to she showroom - because she is way too beautiful to be only seen from far away. Wishlist now: store.steampowered.com/app/3373080/To…

Games like this is what we need! Fun game mechanics, nice looking optics, but no need for a container full of RTX 5080 and your own little nuclear power plant for powering them. Keep rocking with this project!

Shoutout to Trixie's Indies who from time to time share and promote my projects. Just wanted to say that I truly appreciate this! Thanks a bunch!

Raindrops flowing down, is this a Matrix symbol? I will show 2 ways creating Normals. Because other things, very simple: reducing saturation through SmoothStep and distortion through UV. Here I used water_d texture, so others can give more realistic #UnrealEngine #gamedev #UE5

Version 0.22 of #ToyboxAces is out now for our early testers! The enemy AI learned a lot, anti aircraft go BRRRRR, and much, much more. Wishlist now, if you haven't already: store.steampowered.com/app/3373080/To…

Had a lot of framerate drops and screen tearing lately. But after a few little tweaks #ToyboxAces again runs smoothly (currently caped to 4K at 60 FPS for recording). Sometimes taking care for details matters... store.steampowered.com/app/3373080/To…

I just learned that "passing under the pan handle" is an actual thing in #ToyboxAces Nice. store.steampowered.com/app/3373080/To…

I totaly love hove some devs manage to make players actually *learn* some useful stuff without them even noticing that they are learning. The world needs more things like this. If you have the coice, try to be a little bit like #IronDev

Everytime I see things like *this*, I am absolutely stunned. Congrats, #IndieGameJoe! You seem to have done a lot of things right. May "The Allmighty Algorithm" be in your favor. Keep rocking!

I have the strong feeling that things like this chronodivide.com will lead to a worldwide drop in productivity among a certain generation.

Just spent too much time playing my own game instead of doing some actual work on #ToyboxAces. No, jokes aside. Since I implemented user settings for things like custom resolution, I use all my time an energy to track down causes for framedrops and other stuff...

Now that the leaderboard in #ToyboxAces is operational, it was time to implement some scoring criteria. Here you see an early version of a "fixed target shooting range". Watch how the time decreases your score... Ah... and don't mind my burning wing. I'll make it home. Promissed
